What is the Tusano Trading Company?

Growing up, I was enthralled with how people shaped things, spun thread, forged metal, and especially cut and contoured wood into furniture and other objects. I soon found through my Grandparent’s craft-work store that I wanted to surround myself with the works of craftspeople and artists, and share what excited me about them with other people.

The Tusano Trading Company is my attempt to do exactly that. I’ve recruited Artists I’m excited about to help me design exclusive products to be sold and promoted alongside my own works, in an effort to show others that there’s serious magic to making. We're all for encouraging young and developing artists to pursue their talents and be paid fairly for it. With this, I hope to bring together a solid foundation of passionate artists and makers that encourage each other and work as a team to make making work for all of us.

Our Slogan “Forge Ahead and Follow Through” is meant to invoke imagery of laborious passions and promises with the weight of integrity behind them. I hope to move Tusano forward as a brand known for recognizing artist’s hard-work and dedication to their craft, as well as motivating and bringing out the best in our artists. With that in mind, we press on, We Forge Ahead.
